Editor,
On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the world will commemorate the 79th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan.
As we stop in our busy lives to reflect on the horrors of Hiroshima, nuclear experts inform us that the danger of nuclear war has never been closer. Missiles continue to be deployed to the Ukraine war, as well as Israel and Palestine have been left in ruins with tens of thousands of dead. Worldwide, over 10,000 nukes threaten to end human civilization. We are at a critical place where nuclear danger keeps escalating. Fortunately, there is also escalating pressure for global nuclear disarmament.
Tri-Valley CAREs wants to commemorate the victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and all victims of war and violence. We want to educate for peace and non-violent conflict resolution by gathering at the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab – West Gate, on Tuesday, August 6, 2024. The event will be followed by a traditional Japanese Bon Dance, inviting our ancestors to join us, and then a nonviolent witness and direct action for those who so choose.
You are invited and welcome to come and join us on this important date. For more information visit us at www.trivalleycares.org. Thank you!
